Zebra Crossings’ mission is to enrich the lives of children with a chronic health condition, including those at risk of developing a chronic health condition. The non-profit organization coordinates enrichment activities throughout the year allowing children with chronic illnesses to build their confidence; develop friendships with other children and increase their sense of independence.

Federal Savings Bank made the donation in honor of FSB Board member Richard Houghton, who retired from the Bank’s board in December of 2012. Houghton and his wife, Gail, owned and operated Houghton Hardware in downtown Durham for 27 years.

“We were thrilled to have an opportunity to recognize Dick’s contributions to the Durham community on the ice in front of an arena filled with people who know and respect him,” said FSB Vice President and Marketing Director, Kelly Glennon. “And to donate in his honor to an organization committed to making life better for children, made it all the more special,” she added.
